Former YouTube sensation and current boxing star, Jake Paul has no problem putting his money where his mouth is. However, he may have bit off more than he can chew this time.
Shawn Strickland you’re embarrassing for trying to stop sneako like that
you weren’t even able to drop someone with no experience while going all out😅
You’re a horrid boxer that only picks on inexperienced people..
I’ll fly you to PR and we can fight on camera… if you win…

A video surfaced of influencer Sneako taking to the cage and former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland beating him to a pulp. Jake Paul took notice of it and called out the Las Vegas native.
He went on to call Strickland a bully.
I hate bullies. I was bullied and then was the bully sometimes in my YouTuber days. But now all my energy is focused on Boxing Bullies @Boxingbullies and helping the youth.
But when I see someone like Strickland constantly bullying people, it’s time to bully back.

Strickland didn’t take long to fire back with a lengthy Tweet/X of his own. Pointing out that Paul is nothing but a “cancer” and a successful troll.
I want to conclude this, I want you all to understand the phenomenon that is Jake. You're a professional troll, you fight retired small MMA fighters because you're a troll but the worst part of it all is that you're a cancer. You inspire people to accomplish nothing, to be…

Two days after those back-and-forths happened, another influencer came into the woodwork — Bryce Hall.
Influencer boxer Bryce Hall was asked by Inside Fighting about the Sneako fiasco and his response was surprising.
“I would love to spar Sean Strickland,” Hall said. “Dana [White], sign me up with Sean Strickland. I want to do a spar. I guarantee I would crack Sean Strickland.”
Of course, Strickland had to respond and it came with a shocking twist.
You all wanna see a dead body??? God this is the only thing I've ever wanted…. Please please I never ask you for anything….. please!!! pic.twitter.com/nF7FFrMMDl

We saw Strickland inside the Octagon at UFC 297 when he lost his middleweight title in a back-and-forth battle with Dricus Du Plessis.
On March 2, Jake Paul will take on 17-2-0 retired American boxer Ryan Bourland. The bout will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
